Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah Sons

Established in Aden by the late Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah in 1927, the firm is the oldest and most established law firm in Yemen, and one of the oldest established law firms in the Middle East. Over our years of practice we have become the leading Yemen law firm providing legal services both at home and abroad.

During the 1950’s the city of Aden was at the centre of the British Colonial trading system and one of the busiest ports in the world. It was during this time that the firm was proudly representing most of the shipping lines, insurance companies and later protection and indemnity clubs as well as oil companies that were operating from the port of Aden. The firm continues to be the leading shipping firm representatives in the country.
Over the past four decades, the firm steadily grew capitalising on its reputation and vast experience, and is now the largest and by far the most prominent law firm in the Republic of Yemen, representing the most prestigious clients and acting for the largest projects in the country.
